The tool allows you to open an email file with the EML extension and save its main text content as a PDF document. If the email contains attached files, they will be extracted and packed into a separate ZIP archive for convenient downloading.

When this is useful

First case: an important email in EML format was forwarded to you, but the email client is unavailable, and you urgently need to read and print the text. Second case: you need to quickly save all attachments from a dozen old emails without importing them one by one into an email program.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Upload your EML file via the form on the service page.
  2. Wait while the tool analyzes the headers, email body, and the presence of attachments.
  3. If there are no attachments, download the resulting PDF.
  4. If attachments are found, download the ZIP archive containing these files.

How to verify the result

Check the received PDF for the subject, date, sender, and message text. If the text is displayed incorrectly, the email might have been in HTML format with complex layout. Ensure the ZIP archive contains all expected files by comparing their quantity and names.

Important limitations

The service is focused on text extraction, so complex HTML formatting, images in the email body, and styles may be lost or displayed incorrectly. Remember that sender data in headers can be forged, and the tool does not verify their authenticity.
